You Might Want a Bigger Boat: The 20 Best Films Located on the Ocean – Ranked!
20. Deep Rising (1998)
Stephen Sommers' futuristic scarefest details a group of memorable supporting players acting as soldiers of fortune hired to demolish the passenger vessel Argonautica. Yet a massive sea creature has got there first! Among the endangered passengers are Famke Janssen as a diamond criminal.
19. 1900's Tale (1998)
A newborn, abandoned on the passenger vessel the central location, develops to be a accomplished musician (the lead actor) who refuses to leave the ship. The peak moment of this filmmaker's fantastical tale is the protagonist competing in a piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton, rather unfairly portrayed as a smug bastard.
18. Waterworld (1995)
The main star plays a warrior-esque nomad with webbed feet and a enhanced trimaran in this big-budget science fiction adventure, taking place in a later era where disappearing glaciers have submerged the world. Everyone is seeking mythical Dryland while resisting Dennis Hopper and his gang of continuously smoking marauders.
17. Titanic (1997)
Two hours of romantic interludes between a wealthy lady (the actress) and an working-class man (the actor) are rescued by James Cameron's spectacular recreation of among history's notorious catastrophes. It's impossible not to respect the chutzpah of a director who manages to twist a fatalities of over a thousand into an heartening story of freedom.
16. Ship of Fools (1965)
Peasants, flamenco dancers and German ideologists interact on a ocean liner traveling from Mexico to Europe in the interwar period. The director's epic stars Vivien Leigh, in her last performance, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the medical officer, and another cast member, as a aristocratic rebel, who supply the motion picture with its emotional wallop.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The USS Claridon is torn asunder in an detonation and the lead actor's spouse (Dorothy Malone) is stranded in their cabin in this compelling early catastrophe film. Will the main character and a brave technician (Woody Strode) save her prior to the vessel goes down? Curious detail: the Claridon is embodied by the renowned French liner a real ship.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Two legendary actresses are among the murder suspects on board a Nile paddle steamer in this celebrity-filled Agatha Christie detective story. The main star, as the famous detective, is unable to halt several passengers being killed, which whittles down his suspects to a limited selection. Much more enjoyable than the recent version.
13. Ocean Stillness (1989)
Nicole Kidman act as a married couple trying to get over the pain of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a trip in the ocean, where they save a co-star from a damaged vessel. Poor decision! This filmmaker's suspense film is essentially a killers-on-the-loose story at sea, but an high-quality one that launched her career.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An Englishman, moving goods for an US businessman, is deceived into employing a dilapidated "type of boat" in the director's harsh British film in the subversive tradition of his own earlier film. Of course, the boat's British skipper and staff take the two landlubbers for a trip, in every meaning of the expression.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker provides his disaster thriller a social commentary perspective in this anxiety-inducing tale of explosives positioned on a luxury liner, the main setting. Red wire or blue wire? Richard Harris portray demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the cruise director, serves up a touching portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of Paul Gallico's literary work is one of the zenith of the seventies catastrophe films. The fictional ship is overturned by a tidal wave, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his group through the inverted vessel to safety. Shelley Winters is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a useful background of competitive swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford provides a late-career masterclass in one-man show as a individual struggling to survive in the maritime location after his sailing vessel, the fictional ship, is harmed in a collision with an errant cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so heaven knows how extremely demanding it must have been for the senior performer to shoot.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
Tom Hanks does sterling work in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the skipper of an commercial transport seized by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a outstanding first movie role as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's suspense film, based on real events. If the concluding moment doesn't bring tears, you're not human.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
